Elemental cycles in the coralline alga Neogoniolithon hauckii as a recorder of temperature variability in the Mediterranean Sea by Steffen Hetzinger, Madleen Grohganz, Jochen Halfar, Ed Hathorne, Enric Ballesteros, Diego K. Kersting

“…We report a mean vertical extension rate of 1.1 to 1.2 mm/year (based on analysis of Mg/Ca cycles in 40 m and 20 m samples), representing the first growth rate measurement for this species. In addition, subannual banding patterns were mapped, measured, and could be linked to high frequency variability in laser-analyzed Mg/Ca ratios. …”

The Effect of Essential Oils on the Bioproductive Performance of Broilers by Lavinia Ștef, Eliza Simiz, Adela Marcu, Ducu Ștef, Voichiţa Gherasim, Ioan Peț, Silvia Pătruică, Mirela Ahmadi, Adrian Manciu, Călin Julean

“…Chickens from T1 and T2 were fed with a combined feed in which the incorporated essential oil was oregano 125 or 250 ppm in combined feed, those in T3 and T4 consumed aniseed feed at the same doses, T7 and T8 a feed combined with fennel, and those in T9 and T10 were treated with a feed mixed with Black cumin in the same amount. In the first growth period it was found that the highest body weight was recorded at T2 (259.9 g) and also the smallest feed conversion index was recorded in this group. …”

Improving field establishment and yield in seed propagated Miscanthus through manipulating plug size, sowing date and seedling age by Chris Ashman, Rebecca Wilson, Michal Mos, Michal Mos, John Clifton-Brown, John Clifton-Brown, Paul Robson

“…After the second growth year, it was found that planting date had a significant effect on surviving plants, with the mid-season planting producing higher survival rates over all plug types.Establishment was positively correlated with DM biomass produced in the first growth season. Sowing date had a significant effect on establishment but the impacts of plug design were more nuanced and were significant at later planting dates. …”

Modelling the variation in performance of a population of growing pig as affected by lysine supply and feeding strategy by L. Brossard, J.-Y. Dourmad, J. Rivest, J. van Milgen

“…This method was developed to allow end-users of InraPorc (a nutritional model predicting and analysing growth in pigs) to easily characterise their animals based on observed data and then use the model to test different scenarios. First, growth and intake data were curve-fitted to characterise individual pigs in terms of BW (Gompertz function of age) and feed intake (power function of BW) by a set of five parameters, having a biological or technico-economical meaning. …”

Influence of L-lactic acid on the efficacy of microbial phytase in broiler chickens by P. Zobač, I. Kumprecht, P. Suchý, E. Straková, J. Brož, J. Heger

“…Two growth trials and a short-term metabolism trial were conducted in broiler chickens in the period of 22 to 42 days of age in order to evaluate the effects of two dietary levels of L-lactic acid (1.03 or 2.06 g/kg) and microbial 6-phytase (750 U/kg), added either separately or in combination, on growth rate, feed conversion, dressing percentage and utilization of selected nutrients. In the first growth trial, six different dietary treatments were added to a basal grower diet containing 19.4% crude protein and a reduced level of dietary phosphorus (P) (5.9 g total and 2.9 g non-phytate P per kg). …”
